A Cursed Poem - End of Story - First of Many
Someone pinches you,
You slap them,

You punch them,
Someone punches you,
You kick them,
Someone kicks you,
You stab them,
Someone stabs you,
You shoot them,
Someone shoots you,

Bio-Agents
Catching up...
I know I am not alone. I am thankful for the friends I have, believe it or not. You all know that I like my privacy and those who are closest to me know I have my reasons to keep people at bay. I've been hurt in the past, more then any sticks or stones could do to me. I don't want any of you to think I am giving you a cold shoulder. I love ya all. I will always stand by your side. If you need me I will be there, don't hesitate to come to me with any problems or issues. Need me to rip someone's face off? Okay I might not do that, but I will make them feel like they want to crawl up and die. I learned one thing, bullies hate to be bullied. I was bullied a lot in school... A whole hell of a lot. I was small, yeah, you would not think of it now and many people that went to school with me don't even recognize me... The monster I have become. Now I have no problem cracking the skulls of those who would hurt innocent people. I will bully the bullies. Many might say that's not how you should go about this, but I think it is. They only way to fight fire is with fire.
Check out my friends Neutral Shock! See them at the premier of the upcoming horror film THE BLEEDING.

I can't begin to tell you how many people I speak with that are completely ignorant to the realities of Barack Obama. I have to educate them cause believe me, it's not cool calling someone something they are not. I've been told time and time again that people won't vote for a Muslim. Obama is a Christian whose religious views have evolved in his adult life. Come on, how many of us as adults have evolved in our religious outlooks... His father who turned his back on him, was Muslim who didn't even accept that, he claimed he was athiest. And what is with people freaking out his middle name is Hassan? The name Hassan in Hebrew חסן means "cantor", or "good cantor" derived from the Arabic "good" and the Hebrew "cantor". It might not be a common name, but how many of us have strange hebrew names out of the bible? As well, how can "educated" people hate an entire religion for what some of it's extremists are doing? Do we hate Catholics for what they have done in the past, you know the whole Witch Hunts or the Spanish Inquistion or maybe the blind eye to the Nazi holocaust? Do we hate protestants for the evils the Klu Klux Clan? If we are we shouldn't be cause that's uneducated, shallow and well... Your not helping the world one bit, by allowing the ignorance to fester, you are making us take back steps. This must end.
We all can coexist. We all should coexist. The future of HUMAN KIND, depends on it. We should learn all we can about each other, with open minds, open arms and open hearts. Do it, damn it.

Please tell me, which way is The American Way?
JUSTICE. It's just that the big "INTERNATIONAL" companies are getting bailed out. What about the people's who's backs have been broken, who's blood has been shed and who's lives are getting flushed down the toilets? WHAT ABOUT US!?!
THE AMERICAN WAY. Is not on the path it should be. It has lost it's way, too many wolves trying to devour it, from within, from without. It's lost. Who can find it? Will it be found??
Let's hope so. Cause if not. The shit is gonna hit the fan.

BORN TO LIVE IN PAIN AND DIE IN SUFFERING
I FEEL THAT IN THE PAST, MY BLOGS HAVE MAINLY BEEN REPOSTS AND NOT REALLY ANYTHING WORTH READING. I AM CHANGING THAT. THIS BLOG IS GOING TO BE FROM MY HEART, YOU WILL KNOW THE CURSED FROM READING THIS BLOG, MY PAIN, MY TRIUMPHS, MY GOALS... THIS IS ME, PEOPLE, LIKE IT OR NOT...
SO WHAT ISSUES DO I WANT TO FOCUS ON THIS BLOG? I'M GOING TO SAY IT LIKE IT IS... THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY PUSSIES OUT THERE WHO WON'T LET ME DO MY JOB. THEY ARE AFRAID THAT THE CURSED IS GOING TO SET THE WRONG EXAMPLE, THAT I WILL SAY SOMETHING TO OFFEND SOMEONE... IF THEY ARE AT A WRESTLING SHOW THEY SHOULD EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED. ISN'T THAT WHAT WRESTLING IS SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT? SHOCK AND AWE?? WHY IS EVERYONE PUSSING OUT? I REMEMBER A TIME WHEN WRESTING MEANT SOMETHING TO THE FANS AND TO THE WRESTLERS. I REMEMBER WHEN THEY CHANTED ECW, ECW, ECW... I REMEMBER WHEN IT WAS ABOUT THE FANS, THE REAL FANS AND NOT ABOUT WHAT THE SO CALLED "MORAL MAJORITY" THOUGHT. PISS ON THAT, WRESTLERS SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES AS THEY SEE FIT AND AS THE FANS WANT IT. BOTTOM LINE, I FEAR THAT WRESTLING IS GOING BACKWARDS AND I WANT TO HELP KEEP IT ON THE RIGHT ROAD. SPIT IN THE FACE OF THOSE WHO GET IN OUR WAY... ARE YOU READY TO MAKE A NEW ERA HAPPEN? I AM. I AM READY TO BLEED JUST TO KNOW I AM ALIVE... I AM READY TO FIGHT FOR WHAT I BELIEVE IN, AND I WILL NEVER SALE OUT TO ANYONE BUT TO THE FANS. I WILL GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WANT FROM ME. I WILL BLEED FOR YOU. I WILL WRAP BARBED WIRE AROUND MY BODY. I WILL SLAM SOME POOR SUMBITCH AND MOST LIKELY MYSELF THROUGH A BURNING TABLE... I WILL GIVE YOU EVERYTHING THAT YOU MISS... I WILL SHOW YOU WHY I SACRIFICE. I AM READY... JUST WATCH ME.

Remembering 9-11
The nation paused today to mark the seventh anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks with a heartfelt ceremony at the World Trade Center site, the dedication of a memorial at the Pentagon and a planned visit to ground zero by the presidential candidates.
Relatives of victims killed at the World Trade Center gathered in lower Manhattan for readings from dignitaries and a recitation of the names of the dead. Later Thursday, Barack Obama and John McCain were due at ground zero to pay silent respects.
"Today marks the seventh anniversary of the day our world was broken," Mayor Michael Bloomberg said at the start of the ceremony, calling Sept. 11, 2001, a "day that began like any other and ended as none ever has."
The ritual at ground zero included moments of silence at 8:46 a.m., 9:03 a.m. and 9:59 a.m. and 10:29 — the times when two hijacked jets slammed into the trade center buildings and the twin towers fell.
Services were also held in Pennsylvania and at the Pentagon, where a new memorial was dedicated.
Among the speakers at ground zero were three children who were very young when their father went to work at the World Trade Center seven years ago and never came home.
"I remember playing in the yard with him. I remember him pulling my wagon. He was strong. He always made me feel safe," said Alex Salamone, wearing the soccer jersey of his father, John. "I wish I could remember more, but we were so young when he died."
Edward Bracken, who lost his sister, Lucy A. Fishman, said she was "murdered by coward men using their religion to say they are right and we are wrong," then added, "Pray for the men and women who sleep on the ground every night in the Middle East to keep our world safe."
Relatives of victims began arriving at dawn at ground zero, now a huge construction site. American flags were draped over silent cranes, and some families held signs saying "We miss you," "We love you" or "You will never be forgotten."
The family of Sept. 11 victim Michael Diehl went to ground zero wearing white T-shirts bearing his photo and 9/11/01.
"It's still very hard for us to come here. It doesn't get any easier," said Diehl's sister-in-law, Norma Linguito. "I just wish they'd get the memorial up so we can have something, a marker, to remember everyone."
Family members and students representing more than 90 countries that lost victims on Sept. 11 read the names of 2,751 people killed in New York, one more than last year. The city restored Sneha Philip, a woman who mysteriously vanished on Sept. 10, 2001, to its official death toll this year after a court ruled that she was likely killed at the trade center.
McCain and Obama planned to visit the site after the ceremony concluded Thursday afternoon. The candidates agreed weeks ago to pull their campaign ads for the day and were appearing together Thursday night at a forum on volunteerism and service.
Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani spoke at the ceremony — as he has every year in New York — drawing applause from some in the crowd. As the names were being read, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine and New York Gov. David Paterson walked down a ramp to lay flowers in the pit where the towers stood.
Last year's reading by Giuliani, then a presidential candidate, drew protests from family members who said the city was ill-prepared for the terrorist attacks under his leadership and questioned whether he should be there while running for the White House.
Many families had no opposition to McCain and Obama's visit, but some questioned whether the visit was necessary. "It's probably going to be more commercial. This really should be a day for the people who lived and worked down here," said Jane Wixted, who lost her police officer son Glen Pettit on Sept. 11.
But Pettit's former colleague, Chris DeAngelo, was glad they were coming. "One of them is going to lead this nation," he said. "And for that reason, both should come here to see what happened."
At the Pentagon memorial dedication, former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld mourned those who "one morning kissed their loved ones goodbye, went off to work and never came home" and the airline passengers "who in the last moments made phone calls to loved ones and prayed to the Almighty before their journey ended not far from where it began."
The Pentagon memorial is the first of three major Sept. 11 memorials to be completed. The 2-acre park, located at the spot where American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon's west wall, consists primarily of 184 cantilevered benches, each bearing a victim's name.
President Bush and first lady Laura Bush marked the anniversary during a moment of silence on the South Lawn of the White House, then went to the Pentagon where the president spoke at a service there.
In Pennsylvania, several hundred people gathered to read the names of 40 victims killed in Shanksville where Flight 93 came down after passengers reportedly stormed the cockpit to thwart terrorists' plans to use that plane as a weapon like the others.
Memorials are years away from being built in Pennsylvania and New York. As in past years, two bright blue beams of light will shine at night on the New York City skyline, in memory of the fallen towers.

ZOMBIE WALK, My Plan...
What is a ZOMBIE WALK?
Simply put, the zombie walk is when a large crowd of people plan to dress up like zombies, meet at a pre-determined location, and then walk around, moaning and groaning. That being said, we're doing one here in Maysville, Kentucky. We hopefully will be getting the City of Maysville on the same page and have this event at The Washington Park, not this but next October and we're looking for a few good zombies and sponsors to join in the fun.
Our Zombie Walk will be a fund raising event for THE WOUNDED WARRIOR PROJECT if we get information from them soon to know that we have their blessings.
Besides the walk, there will be live bands, the Maysville Music Mafia will provide sound and DJ some spooky sounds. We will have food and drink. There will be best costume contests. And much much more.
It will be free to get in for everyone, food and drinks will be reasonable, and it doesn't cost much at all to get your zombie on!
For zombie clothes check visit your local Goodwill or other "clothing banks" and if you got clothes you don't use any more, please donate today!

Killer Kowalski
On August 8, 2008 Kowalski suffered a major heart attack. According to Slam! Sports, the Quincy Patriot Ledger, and other sources, Kowalski's family was apprised that he would not recover. When Kowalski was taken off life support on August 18, subsequent news reports erroneously stated that he had passed away. But Kowalski did not die until August 30, 2008. [2] He was 81 years old.
Wladek (Walter) "Killer" Kowalski (October 13, 1926 – August 30, 2008)[2] was a Canadian professional wrestler. Kowalski wrestled for numerous promotions during his career, including the NWA and WWWF, and was a known heel wrestler. He held numerous championships including the WWWF World Tag Team Championship with Big John Studd. After retiring in 1977, Kowalski started a professional wrestling school in Malden, Massachusetts and trained many professional wrestlers, including Triple H.

The Cursed Word - WARNING: Very Graphic Material!
Now, on to the rest of the blog...
Mick Foley has agreed to terms with TNA and will debut as soon as he is contractually free to do so. His WWE contract expires within days.
Foley's TNA deal was worked out with help from Spike TV, which may have subsidized the contract. He may end up being involved in other Spike TV projects.
Foley was dropped from WWE storylines once WWE learned that he was unhappy and likely not renewing his deal and instead interested in signing with TNA.
While there's been a lot of buzz about Foley in the locker room among wrestlers, the management team had been quiet about it and perhaps largely out of the loop, but were hopeful Dixie Carter was getting the deal done.
The Cursed Word: I can't wait to see Mick show up in the iMPACT ZONE! Mick Foley has given his dues to our industry and now that he is wanting to go to TNA proves just how much WWE has lost it's touch. Just what Mick will be doing for TNA is anybody's guess, but I know he's got a lot of pent up agression and most likely will shoot on WWE with all due intentions... It will be interesting to see if we will be seeing Cactus Jack again...

Raven and others sue WWE.
For 20 years, K&L Gates lawyer Jerry McDevitt has guided the WWE through everything from a steroid trial to an initial public offering. And the work isn't letting up.
On Friday, McDevitt and a team of lawyers from Day Pitney removed a lawsuit to federal court that has the potential to dramatically change the company's finances -- and, possibly, its stock price, according to one WWE executive. In the case, filed in July, three wrestlers claim they function as full-time employees (the company even determines their hairstyles) but are classified as independent contractors -- a status that costs them benefits and deprives the IRS of taxes, the complaint claims.
The wrestlers, Scott "Raven" Levy, Christopher "Kanyon" Kluscartis and "Above Average" Michael Sanders are represented by litigation boutique Silver, Golub & Teitell in Stamford, Conn., the WWE's hometown.
McDevitt says the suit is bogus but won't reveal his argument. He's saving those details for a motion to dismiss that the team will file in federal court this week, he says.
Meanwhile, the WWE and Chairman Vince McMahon are keeping McDevitt busy, he says. The company fended off accusations that former star Chris Benoit went into a steroid-induced "rage" before murdering his wife and son, then killing himself last year, McDevitt says. WWE is in court trying to void its video game licenses, claiming two companies bribed a former WWE executive and licensing agent to get the lucrative deals.
And there's always the big panda in the courtroom. The World Wildlife Fund is still seeking damages abroad related to the successful litigation in which it claimed and won ownership of the "WWF" acronym and trademark. "The WWE has been a great client," he says, "but unfortunately, they are sometimes faced with lawsuits like this."

Tropic Thunder Review
Friday, August 15, 2008
Tropic Thunder
Portrayal of mental retardation
From Wikipedia.org
Tropic Thunder has caused controversy in the disability advocacy community. A website for Simple Jack, a faux film exhibited within the film, was pulled on August 4, amid several groups' concerns over its portrayal of mental retardation, called "intellectual disabilities" by disability advocacy groups. A spokesman for DreamWorks stated "We heard their concerns, and we understand that taken out of context, the site appeared to be insensitive to people with disabilities." A coalition of more than 22 disability advocacy groups, including the Special Olympics and the Arc of the United States, object to the repeated use of the word "retard", which disability advocates call "the R-word" because of its negative connotations. DreamWorks initially spoke of screening the film with the groups to determine if the film still offended the groups. However, the screening was postponed to the same day of the premiere on August 11 instead of August 8. After some representatives for the groups saw the private screening, they picketed outside the film's premiere. Timothy Shriver, the chairman of the Special Olympics stated "This population struggles too much with the basics to have to struggle against Hollywood. We're sending a message that this hate speech is no longer acceptable."
Disability advocates and others who have previewed the film report that the offensive treatment of individuals with mental disabilities is woven throughout the film’s plot. Disability advocates are urging people not to see the film, claiming it is demeaning to individuals with mental disabilities. They fear it will encourage bullying. Etan Cohen, the co-writer of the film, claimed "Some people have taken this as making fun of handicapped people, but we're really trying to make fun of the actors who use this material as fodder for acclaim." He went on to state that the film lampoons actors such as Dustin Hoffman and Tom Hanks who portrayed mentally retarded characters in Rain Man and Forrest Gump, respectively. A DreamWorks spokesman did not directly respond to the criticism, stating that the film "...is an R-rated comedy that satirizes Hollywood and its excesses, makes its point by featuring inappropriate and over-the top characters in ridiculous situations." The film's advertising has been altered, but none of the scenes in the film were edited as a result of the opposition.
My views: My friends and I have always called each other retarded when someone does something stupid. Calling someone retarded doesn't mean they are mentally handicapped, we'd never call someone who has a disability, retarded. We've even had people who are disabled call us retarded for some of the stunts we used to pull. Example: The only guy in The Ringer that I would say has been retarded at some points in his life was Johnny Knoxville. By having all these great people picketing the film, your being retarded. Same goes with gay. Hell, I'll say someone is being gay if they are just being their for their woman instead of their bros! I know gay people and they find that funny too. Besides, it's a comedy! Comics say what ever they want and people laugh cause... It's funny! Get over it, quit wasting your time being retarded and have fun watching Tropic Thunder... I will.

Happy Birthday SWEETS!

Hate me, like me, agree, disagree... I don't care, it needs to be said.
I am helping in every way I can, because I believe in this with all my heart, but why does a great kid like Ryan Nolder have to go all the way to China to get what he needs to live a better life? The future of mankind lies in Stem Cell Research. (And don't give me the "we're acting like we are god" crap cause if you know anything about all the gods of all religions (who happen to be the all the same what ever it is) want us to be everything we can be. So if we figure something out, we should use the intelligence given from it.) We can save lives with the cloning of cells. I agree, cloning complete people (just for parts) is wrong. But, if you can save lives, if you can give people the ability to see, the ability to hear, the ability to do the things that most of us take for granted... Why wouldn't you make it happen!?! I hope, who ever the next president is, has some brains and passes the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act, so our future looks so much brighter. This issue must be brought to the limelight. This needs to happen, maybe for the sake of us all...

Ryan's Sight Fight
A local boy, from Maysville, Kentucky, Ryan Nolder age 7, is asking for your help. Ryan was born with Optic Nerve Hypoplasia, a medical condition that results in underdevelopment of the optic nerves, and is almost blind. He has 0% vision in his left eye and only 20% vision in his right. Ryan has the chance to see the things that we take for granted. In China doctors have had success with a Stem Cell treatment. The trips, treatments, and recovery will cost the family around $60,000. An account has been setup for Ryan at the Bank of Maysville.You can also go to www. maysvillekybbs. com or www. ryanssightfight. com and donate online. T-shirts are also available.
